The other half of the' caValry, under the command of the Duke of Abergnerque, are upon this side ot the Sierra, being quartered in the vil lages about Seville, on account of the scarcity of linage in Estramadura. Besides these forces there is a garrison of 5000 men in Badajoz, as many in Cuidad Rodrigo, and bodies of armed peasants dis'. persed all over the country., Who harass the enemy exceedingly.
